Ono Copy one year, - 800 Fire " .4 66 . . 12 60 Ten " " " - 25 00 The Elclion on Wtimc.1duy. The most infainus fraud ever per petrated on a people was enacted in this County on Wednesday. The ini. quitous election act of the Rndical party, conceived for fraud, was carried out to the letter. The Kershaw and Ransior agreement was refused by the Commissioners and Managers. It will require the official count to give the result. At least 800 fraudulent nc gro votes were cast at the four pro ciucts in this village. One hundred fraudulent radical nero votes were polled at Clinton. More than 1,000 fraudalent votes woro polled by the radicals. On Tuesday night the negroes from all parts of the County massed in this placo. The radical Managers paid little regard to challenges. At least 200 boys under a go, froin sixteen and upwards, were all allowed to vote. Many cnt their votes at all of the four precincts in the village, and afterwards voted at the County pre cinots. Many voted in the county and afterwards at all of the village precincts. The white vote is solidly for the Union Roform ticket. The negro radical vote will aggregate in excess of their numerical utrength, while many voted for Reform, and hundreds were not at the polls. It is estimated that about 2,400 or 2,5oO votes were polled lt this place ; at Ulinton 1,000. At cross 11111, llamil. ton's, Lyons and Saufflitown, probably 1,000 to 1,500 ballots were cat, large. ly for Reform. The entire County vote will be between 4,500 5,000. Deducting the fraudulent votes, the Reform party have won by a handsome majority. Joe Crows, a candidate for the House, is a comimissioier of election. Powell the radical candidate for Judge of Probate, noted as a manager at this place. Other managors were candidates. Only throo of the mana gors, Davenport, Aboercrombie and .Pool, are recognized as Reformers. To the native scoundrels (Crews and Owens) who were coummissionors, and not so much to the earpot-baggers is attributable thi infamous rasoali ty. About 12 m., during the election at the precincts were Powell noted as a manager, upon some yelling in the sbroets, Powell bolted, and was seen no more during the day. The remain ing managers closed the poll and it was not opened again as required by law. During the day a large body of negroes repaired to Crews' house, whero the militia arms are stationed, and took up arms. This was done nder Crews' orders, it is said. Un der the circumstances the whites ex hibited extraordinary forbearance. We have to say that our people have acted nobly and have done their duty in this great emergency- -L re nusvill 17erald. FfnAUn Is LANcasTvan.-The elec tion oommnissioners comnmenced count ing the votes in private, on Tuesday mornig. None but their owns partyb were ad mitted to thme room. Uip t'o the tinie we go to press, we learn, tha~t they claim a majority of 58 and the Lancaster box still to iouit, which will somewhat incromso it. It is known that fraud has been committed nither by the commissioners or mania agers of election. Blut two of the boxes correspond with the Reform lists, the others have been tampered with by the managers or the commis sioners. The libts kept by the Re form party are correct, and' it can be established by affidavit of a mjority of the voters of Lancaster county that they voted the Reform ticket. This will, doubtless, be done, the eleetion contested, and the unprincipled knaves who have tampered with our liberties may yet find an uincomfortable bocrth in the penitentiary of the United States government.-Lancaser L~ed ger. EFFECT OF CooL.NEss IN AcTroe.. In speaking of the necessity of coolness during action, Colonel Wolaeley give. an instanee of a staff officer who pro dmtoed a most excellent effect ont a whole column of men under fire by carrying an order quietly through a :hot bomnbard mdment with a cigar be tween his lips. A simnilar story ii .told of a German officer in one of the battles before Mets. His men were sufforing horribly, and he knew not how to steady thorn till he saw ooe private soldier smoking. The Colo tiel was struck by the effect produced on his own mind, and was wise enough to walk up to the man and ask If he would givie him a light for his cigar. Corg isnal a infections as fear andit e nt olythe bravery of ex ~Otement, but the calm self-posesslon of ,the strong man,that holds men firmly .togeth'.r at a critical moment.-. London Timres.

The Poet Gray tells us, "All are men, (Jondeemned aliko to groan, 'Tho tunder, for another's pain, The unfoeling, for lain own." The lot of sufforing that is thus true of individuals, ii also true of commu nitios. Where is the community which is not this moment troubled by some chronic evil which baffiles the wisdom of man to euro ? The pro. lom of the races, under tho condition of their political equality, is the trou . ble of the South. It is a ddfliilt and harrassing problem. Yet with the property in the hands of the whites, with the blacks in a minority in most of the States, and soon to be in a mi nority in all of them, it is a problem far easier to ,solve, with soic dtogree of satiisfaction at the result, than the conflict of labor against capital, of property and education against indi gence, ignorance and vice, asit exists, at this very moment, in England. We are ruled by the infeiior material exalted to office by the votes of a casto in South Carolina. But for centuries, the middle classes and the laboring masses have been compolled in Europe to bear the burdens impos ed by a ;,%vcrnment no wiser, and cor tainly not a whit more of their own choioe. It is a sound philosophy, therefore, which will patiently endure the troubles whioh ro efforts that we can make can remedy. The Lp' ere of politics has ever been the arena of coufliet, of ambitious bickering, of eriminnation and recrimination, of the reverse of peace and repose. Those who cannot moderate their passions, should avoid it, unless they prefer a voluntary unhappiness. But to such as can command themselves, the re floctions, nay, the very disappoint tuents, that having to do with politi cal affairs involves, prove the means of lmher steady progress in wisdom and la goodnoss, and, though it is suppE ed that piety and politics are oppos. ad, we do not hesitate to add, In true religion and virtue. Our Desnt y secure and above tlaat of Negr'oes. in South Carolina, the negroes, just as Judge Orr says, arc fast tied and irrevocably wedded to thec Republican party, so that what good can comue to the whItos tiaes-ough 1/eir vot ing mnust, come by the whites joining that party. That a fewv mean whites may get a portion of the spoils of office, Judge Orr advises, therefore, that the whites of this State accept and endorse the Radical party and its principles, to-. male suffrage having already loomed up as the necessary and logical resmalt of them. We cannot endorse the counsel. H-aving given the subject our most earnest reflection, and not being of that cowardly type of chuar acter that would fear to face errone ous public opinion, we most emphati cally reject Judge Orr's counsel, and for good reasons. I. To join the Radicals is for thme white people of South Carolina to so-. cede again, this time, from the whites of the other Southern States-a seces sion In which their scorn and con, tempt would be justly heaped without stint and reservation upon us as dia, honored deserters of a commern cause. While they, with their still growing white majorittes tear down the in iquitles of a corrup~t and hypocritieal party, we should at least contiue to protest agaient them, until tim'e br~ng us relief4 And inthe spirit ol stgru and indignmnt protest alone, so long as this black fnss of Ignerance Is In a majority, shouald we engage in. pollti, cal affairs at all, '$W vof, la tnapI of ouar%.oujtps, hi AnyOJ r yi~ absurdity.

But let us. never cease to protest againt the evils it has temporarily brought upon us, and by a firm and steady re sistance, finally overcome thQm. 2. Our destiny, in this State, will rise superior to politieAl oppre-4ion. The means of developing it aro the brain-power and the mmo ey pow r- of a heaven-gifted race. L t us uus our brain-power and money-power iii nak ing use of the black labor, aid in in troducing white labor. A judiciiusI discrimination, always so n:ado, hov evor, as not' t., lose money by it,. nothing that is rash or pa.-ionate, but a discrimination steady, cool, deter mined and profitable, in favor of our own race, is much to be emmeni'td,.d. The negroes prefer heavy tiaxte. We do trust that the whito people do not intend to pay them except as involun tary agents for the negoes. If the whites are such fools as not to shift the burden very quickly and effec tively upon the proper shoulders by inereased rents of land, increased charges for everything on the face of the earth, and lower wage.-, then theiy deserve to suffer. There iq no mine ing this. matter. It is a war. "My sentence is for open war." We must ignore these people, except Fo 'far as to make use of them as hewers of wood and drawers of water,--ignore them--they are not our equials and never can be--and develop our desti ny above them. Speculative PInanting. The position taken by Niajor T. W. Woodward, in I is address before the Agricultural Suciety this summer, that the practice of renting land to laborers and of planting on shares with them, is a ruinous prnetico, and should be abandoueil, is undoubtedly oorrect. It is a position sanctioned by every authority that has ever writ. ton upon the subject in Eirope, where the system, with the necessary disal vatntaages it involves, has been testad for generations. \Ve do not think that this good advice is likely, how ever, to be followed for our genei tion at least. Indeed it seems to us that good advice is almobt always dis regarded, and bad counsels perversely followed in preference. Our reasons for regarding lajor -Woodward's ad vice as unsuited to the times are these : It ought to be followed, but it will not be ; irat, because the South is now cursed, and necessarily cursed, we believe, with speculative planting. Men who have none of the spirit of the triue planter, without capital or knowledge of the buiness, are planting ast a mere make-shift iin the struggle for existence, and in the strain to do much mere, accomplish much less, than they Qught to.. They plant on Fa'.ctor's advances, and, to lessen the risk, share the crop, which really increases it, but they think net, and you can never-convinoo the muddy head of an Ignorout bungler that his failure to make money, is due to his own mismanagemnt of this and other parts of his business. To le-sen the rent of land,these people subrett to laborers--another more mako-ehift implying that want Qf confidenee in ones own resources at the start0, which t tel failure, before the battle be gins. Having no money, too, but coveting a great deal of it., they shai e the crop, to save the use of capital in the shape of wages, and thus are much more exte naively engaged in the important business 'of industriously anid perpetually fallingsphort of their foelish qaloulations,.. Again neighbor Jones, who does not know more oif planting than his own hog, for he doesn't plough as deep or one-half so systemtiially, tries the wages-spstem and fails at it with ta heavy de bt as the result. 'We could have predicted failure' of Jones tbpon ainy Pysteml whatever. Bunt his nel-Ahip, Smt,, who lives next door, believes it was the wtages-system that ruined him, and not his ignorance, not his slolit, net his natural titfitutdfor planmting, oven if he were ani1iebi h nowledge, and a Hercules in.. Labor, and any one who 'has ever argued lith Smith, knowes twouild be a pleasanter occa pattop to read Donohee 'de Coro ina to hisemule. Fo~r .Meo .reasons, we say, that1 Maj.
